On this day. 28 July 2001, Welsh Singing legend Tom Jones played Cardiff Castle to a sell-out crowd.
Jones had been enjoying somewhat of a resurgance with the release of his Reload album in September 1999, some of which featured in his Cardiff Castle set.
Reload became the highest seller of Jones' career, reaching number one on the British charts in 1999 and again in 2000. Its biggest single was the collaboration with Mousse T, "Sex Bomb", which reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart, and was later used in a 2003 episode of The Simpsons (a show Jones had guest starred on in 1992). The album has sold more than four million copies worldwide.
In 2000, Jones garnered a number of honours for his work, including a BRIT Award for Best British Male.
